Multilanguage version of Windows
You can create foreign language DOCUMENTS in regular versions of Windows just by selecting the proper keyboard.
If you want your actual Windows DIALOGS, MENU SELECTIONS, HELP FILES, etc. in a foreign language, you will need to purchase the Multilanguage edition of Windows. Some Windows versions have a Multilanguage Upgrade available.
Note: this is NOT Windows Me! That was the Millennium edition. You must specifically get the Multilanguage edition.

Notes on "international" keyboards
If you want to use multiple keyboards at the same time, you can buy a switch box or Y-splitter (these can be difficult to find). You should not unplug a keyboard while Windows is running; that can cause the computer to hang. Always shut down a Windows computer before switching keyboards. Of course, shutting down every time you want to switch languages quickly becomes tiresome.
You could buy some international character stickers for the tops of your keys. However, the stickers often fall off after a while. When they do stay on, they tend to wear away.
I just write the alternate characters on my keycaps myself, alongside the regular letters. I use a red fine point Sharpie brand marker. Black and dark blue get too confusing to look at when the regular letters are also black. Other "permanent" felt-tip markers may work, but beware! Many smudge and/or leave ink on your fingers.

To create foreign character documents in Windows NT/2000
For Windows NT/2000, go to Start / Settings / Control Panel. Open Regional Options. The General tab configures documents in multiple languages. Select the Input Locales tab, then the Add button. Choose the input locale you want, then it should select the proper keyboard layout/IME. Click OK. Repeat if you want more layouts. Highlight the language you want for default, then select Set as Default (if it doesn't already have the check mark). You can use the Change Key Sequence option to enable or disable hot key switching, and/or customize it for each language. You will by default be able to switch languages using left Alt+Shift, and it will enable the language indicator on the taskbar (that area near the clock). It will appear there as a square box with a couple of letters in it (EN for English, De for German, etc.). You can then simply select that box to switch input languages.

Re:Spanish software?

It has a fairly comprehensive on-line Spanish course that is totally free. There are parts of the course that has a fee, but there are still almost 100 lessons that are free.

Re:Rosetta Stone Language Learning Software
Greetings!
Yes, I am using Rosetta for learning Korean, and find it a good supplement to a more traditional method. You might turn that on its head also, and argue that a traditional method (with thematec discussions of grammar, etc.) is a good supplement to Rosetta ;>
Cheers, greetings from Norway!

Re:Typing asian characters
I use a program called Global Writer. It's a very simple word processor that supports about 120 different languages, including Asian, right-to-left, left-to-right, etc. It's very nice and unlike many special-purpose word processors it takes Unicode very seriously. It's advertised as the word processor used by the Voice Of America.
